Re: Trucks and accidents
Every month there is an accident involving trucks around the Massey Tunnel and as a result thousands of commuters get inconvenienced.
There obviously is something wrong or lacking on the part of truck drivers getting sufficient driving schooling and testing.
Many times when driving on Highway 99 trucks are passing on the centre lane speeding and obviously ignoring to slow down around curves.
In addition, our highways are in dire condition. They are full of potholes, they are not elevated around curves and the truck rear double wheels mark the highway severely.
Why does the government not become responsible and introduce more strict truck driving schooling and testing in order to avoid un-necessary hold ups for commuters?
